Broadridge Multi Asset Class Conundrum WhitepaperBroadridge
As trading across multiple asset classes increases, operating in silos is no longer
an effective strategy for optimizing operations, mitigating risk and capitalizing
on market opportunities.

Sourajit Aiyer - Financial Express Bangladesh - SME Exchanges in Emerging Mar...South Asia Fast Track
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) contribute significantly to India's GDP and employment, but many have difficulty raising equity financing. The proposed SME exchange platform by the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) could boost SME financing by providing a niche market for growth companies. However, the success of the exchange will depend on addressing challenges such as the diversity of the SME sector, low research coverage, and lack of liquidity and corporate governance practices at some small companies. Key factors for success include identifying high growth sectors and companies, improving research coverage, strengthening corporate governance, and ensuring affordable costs.

Asian service providers have opportunities to expand into foreign markets by launching MVNOs and OTT voice applications that target Asian ethnic groups living abroad. There are over 77 million Asian immigrants living in countries where the MVNO model is popular and smartphone adoption is high, such as the US, UK, Germany, and France. Some Asian operators have already successfully launched offshore MVNOs, but many Asian communities around the world remain untapped. Asian operators seeking international expansion need to carefully consider strategies such as full MVNO, light MVNO, or OTT voice applications and partner selection to profitably serve overseas Asian populations.

High-frequency trading strategies have become integral to many financial firms' operations in a short period of time. Data centers play a key role in high-frequency trading by providing co-location services that give traders proximity to exchange matching engines and low-latency access to market data and computing power. Ensuring reliable, scalable infrastructure with high-performance networking allows traders to get the best possible executions. While low latency is important, proper risk management and business logic are also critical for high-frequency trading strategies.
The document discusses high frequency trading (HFT), including what it is, how it works, its benefits and risks. It notes that while HFT provides liquidity and narrows spreads, it can also reinforce volatility. Exchanges have implemented measures like volatility interruptions to mitigate risks from HFT.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
